Hi, I found this site one day by accident and I want to say Winston is SO SPOT ON about life in modern day North America. I have bookmarked it and read all the comments and thought I might sign up for the forum.
I am glad you guys allow females to post here because I am NOTHING like the "typical" American woman in today's society.
I haveled travelled to Europe, incidentally, and I loved it. I have been to Germany, Great Britain and Belgium. I have to say that I love Europe. I don't think I could afford to live there though.
On a similar note, I notice people in Europe are more approachable in general. That was back in the 1990s when I went abroad, and love to go back.
Germany is beautiful, and lots of history, I would kind of like to visit the Scandinavian countries, maybe France because there are a lot of art museums and good food, and maybe Switzerland or Austria. I also hear that Greece is beautiful. I recently sold a painting of a Greek churchoverlooking the breathtaking Aegean Sea.
I also wish I could visit South Africa and Australia, two non European countries.

Germany is my favorite country and I am dying to go visit Sweden one day...

What are European men like? That is a question I will have to ask the board in a later post because I would sure like some help or advice on that one...I didn't spend enough time there to really gauge European men in general...but I think I got a better vibe from them than people in the States. I will tell you about this one experience....I was in Berlin Germany for about three days and I was solicited by a whole table ful of men (about five of them) at a restaurant. I don't remember if they were German because one or two looked Italian or Greek. I don't think they meant me any harm or trying to pick me up or anything...they just acted like it was natural to talk to female locals. I have told all my single friends about this and I think they may get the impression guys in Europe are a little more solicitous and wordly. Anyway, I am not knocking American guys but I am wondering if I would be more attracted to European men because I find cultured men a lot more fun.

I like English guys....I am a big fan of many English rock musicians including Sting and David Bowie.
German and French? Never been to France, not sure, just depends. I hear Mediteranean men are very friendly.
Scandinavians...I hear they are a bit on the reserved side.
